Zero Point Vegetable Soup On Weight Watchers

WW Recipe of the Day: 0 Point Vegetable Cabbage Soup for the Stovetop or Slow Cooker
(41 calories | 0 0 0 myWW *SmartPoints value per serving)

I love soup.

Soup tops my list of quick and convenient weeknight meals, all year long, and especially during the cold dark days of fall and winter, when you crave something warm and comforting.

Which is why I keep adding more easy healthy soup recipe posts here on the blog and even wrote an eCookbook filled with Skinny Soups for the Slow Cooker and Stovetop!

Soup has a lot of wonderful qualities going for it. You can easily and economically feed a crowd from one big pot. It's simple to make in big batches so you can have easy ready-to-heat leftovers for quick lunches and suppers all week long. And it's naturally nourishing, especially when you make it yourself and control what goes into it.

Many soups, including this simple garden vegetable soup, have no or low Weight Watchers SmartPoints.

How Soup Helps You Slim Down

But my favorite thing about soup is that it can help you lose weight and keep it off. Why?

Eating soup can help you feel full on fewer calories, which is essential to long-term sustainable weight loss success.

That's why making and eating soup is one of the strategies I suggest in my 28-Day Smart Start Weight Loss Challenge eCourse!

Soup (not the cream filled kind, of course) is considered a high volume low energy-dense food. This means it provides more food volume for fewer calories so you feel fuller and stay feeling fuller longer.

(To lose weight you need to find ways to avoid being hungry all the time.)

Weight Watchers Low Calorie Zero Points Vegetable Soup Recipe Notes

One of my favorite soups is this simple garden vegetable soup. It's a WW Classic. Brimming with vegetables that you can easily modify to suit your tastes and what's available/in season.

This satisfying soup has been a staple in Weight Watchers world for decades. Some people refer to it as cabbage soup, I guess because it has cabbage in it.

You'll often find a container of it strategically placed front and center in my fridge, ready and waiting for when hunger pangs strike.
